DevKit

Read full description

DevKit is the developer toolbox you already keep open in a browser tab, rebuilt as a native app for iPhone, iPad and Mac — and it works with the radio off. Paste something and DevKit works out what it is. A JSON Web Token, a certificate, a cron line, a CIDR block, a colour, a hex digest: it recognises the shape and offers the right tool. WHAT YOU GET FREE • JSON Format — pretty-print, minify and validate, keeping your key order and number literals • JWT Decode — header, claims and expiry, with optional HMAC verification • Base64 — standard and URL-safe, padded or not • URL Encode — query, form and path semantics • Regex Tester — matches, capture groups, named groups, replace and split • Hash — MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512 • UUID Generate — version 4 and time-ordered version 7, in bulk • Unix Time — epoch seconds, milliseconds, microseconds and nanoseconds, any time zone • Colour Convert — HEX, RGB, HSL, HSB, CMYK, with WCAG contrast ratios • String Case — camel, snake, kebab, Pascal and eight more, all at once • Number Base — binary, octal, decimal, hex and any base from 2 to 36, with a bit view • Text Diff — line-by-line comparison with counts WHAT PRO ADDS All 42 tools, including YAML ↔ JSON, XML ↔ JSON, CSV ↔ JSON, HTML entities, string escaping for six languages, ULID and NanoID, HMAC, PBKDF2 calibration, a cron parser that tells you the next ten runs, JSONPath with jq-style pipes, a SQL formatter, native Markdown preview, an offline HTML preview, X.509 certificate decoding, RSA and EC key inspection, QR generation and scanning, lorem ipsum, text statistics, slugify, chmod, IP and CIDR maths, MIME lookup, HTTP status reference, Unicode inspection, seeded sample data, time-zone conversion, semver comparison, URL parsing, a query-string builder and a searchable git command reference.

BUILT FOR HOW YOU WORK • Every tool is a Shortcuts action, so you can compose them into automations • Send selected text straight to DevKit from any app, or from the Services menu on a Mac • Search and keyboard shortcuts on iPad and Mac, and a menu bar popover on macOS • Favourites, history and drafts that pick up where you left off PRIVACY, PLAINLY DevKit makes no network requests.
